COMPTROLLER ROCKIES REPORT.
Mr.. Roche, the city comptroller, sent in
his report for the last three years, and was
present himself at the meeting of the
board. These reports are up to July 1,
1886, and, as MI. Roche says. show the
financial standing of the board to be in adj
mirable condition. The report gives the
assets on the first of July, 1856, as 81, TO-
332. SO, with 1919, 1913. So liabilities. The
comptroller says in this connection
that 1922, 1865, which is included
in the liabl ties for balance of
incompleted contracts. should not be
considered part of the school debt as it is
included in the tax levies of the year 1886
and prior years. Thp receipts from July L,
| 1885, to July 1, 1856, are S573, 662. 04,
While the expenditures were $537, 329. 81.
on purchases and supplies. with instruc-
tions to have not less than 700 copies of it
printed. After the report had been dis
| posed of Mr.. Gilbert stated that on many
| occasions since he had been member of the
board, he had taken occasion to condemn
Mr.. Roche because that officer did
not set off under a proper head or
fund the different sums due to
! the fund. This statement he had recently
| found was not correct. but that. on the con-
! trary, Mr.. Roche had all along been doing
precisely what he had declared the comp
troller did not do. He very frankly de-
clared that he wanted to take back every
thing that he had said about Mr.. Roche on
this point. The finance committee was di-
rected to negotiate a loan for $50, 900, with
interest at not more than per cent, with
which to pay salaries and the running eX-
penSes for the month of January.
